Robotic Arm

This robotic arm is controlled by a ESP8266 module. It is connected wirelessly to the internet so that the arm can be operated from anywhere on the internet using a standard browser. You can turn the arm 360 degrees either clockwise or counterclockwise, raise or lower the arm, turn on the electric magnet, and pick up the metal balls.

Wireless Analog Data Acquisition System

Arduino

The Arduino is an open source development platform for learning robotics, automation, computer programming and embedded systems. It is well suited for all levels from beginners to advance.

Getting Started

To get started on your first Arduino project, you'll need to get an Arduino (the hardware) and the Arduino IDE (the software) for programming the Arduino.
